"In its latest incarnation since 2022, this spacious, underground spot in the residential Smichov neighborhood stays true to its live-music roots with regular performances spanning bluegrass and Afro house, and the relaxed ambiance is heightened by drinks from co-owner Jakub Ondříšek, co-founder of the elegant cocktail boîte Parlour. Against a swath of brick he turns out aromatic creations like the Pineapple of My Eye, a woody variation on a rum Old Fashioned, and the Not a Big Dill, a fusion of aquavit, passion fruit, vanilla curd, and cream that encapsulates summer. “We use mists with well-known essential oils found in perfumes,” he explains. “I want people to recall our bar every time they come across this smell.”" - Alia Akkam
